Details

Manufactured by the legendary Remington Arms Company, this product is brand new, brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. It is a staple range and target practice ammunition used by many law enforcement agencies and avid shooters.

Remington UMC comes in this trademark green and white box and is part of Remington's line of low cost range and training ammo. UMC stands for the Union Metallic Cartridge Company and was founded back in the 1860s. They were responsible for the centerfire cartridge as well as the 22 rimfire round. UMC merged with Remington back in 1912 and today Remington uses the UMC division to provide practice ammo for the most popular rifle and pistol calibers.

To find out if Remington UMC holds up to its longstanding reputation as quality range ammo, we shot a couple of boxes of 165 grain 40 Smith & Wesson. The cases are typical reloaded brass with a non-corrosive primer. The bullets are a lead-core full metal jacket which Remington calls metal case. We ran the ammo through six different test guns and didn't experience any malfunctions or feeding failures. The ammo seemed to be loaded just slightly hotter than some of the other 40 caliber practice loads but there was barely any noticeable difference in recoil making the UMC a good round for long practice sessions.

Other calibers of UMC that we've tested had pretty average accuracy. But it looks like we were having a good day and the group we shot with this batch was pretty tight. Our accurately test was done from the bench rest at 15 yards using a SIG P226. Overall, we were very pleased with UMC ammo in 40 caliber and I think it's probably a great choice for most range applications.

Great, affordable ammo Review by TEX

Very well priced, this ammo is very consistant and of very high quality. Although the round is just a lil dirty tho, but I still highly reccomend getting this ammo type. It runs very well with my Stoeger 8040 F, and works great for target practice or even home defense (Note, you can get this ammo type in a jacketed hollow point, or the flat tipped also). Going back to the price, Remington makes very high quality, affordable ammo. For the price of this ammo, it is probably one of the best overall handgun cartirges made today. We use Remington ammuniton for all of our firearms, and we keep comin back. So if you ever get the chance, Try this stuff out. You wont be dissapointed (Posted on 3/16/12)

Shipping costs were very reasonable and delivery was made lightening fast. LG communication regarding order processing and shipping status is outstanding. You can order from LG with complete confidence."

Jajar7 said: "This was my first internet order for ammunition. I will definitely be a repeat and referral customer. The price was extremely reasonable and I don't think I can find anywhere that could beat the shipping cost. The order was shipped quickly and I was able to track the shipment with the tracking number you gave me. I knew exactly what day to expect my order. Thank You and I look forward to purchasing from you in the future."
